“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better Dog Sitter. I was very hesitant about bringing somebody. I didn’t personally know into my home however I felt 100% comfortable with Kaitlyn after the first time meeting her.”
“I highly Recommend Sequoia. She was very attentive to our dog Oakley needs. Everything we asked of her was followed through with evidence of pictures and videos. Upon returning after a 2 day vacation our house was neat and clean......she was very respectful of our home. We will be contacting Sequoia again for further Oakley sitting duties!!!!!!!”
About: Caring for dogs is such a joy!! When able to I love offering runs to pups and car rides and couch days for my senior pals . I have a good understanding of doggy car safety and pay close attention to my furry friends even when outside for potty breaks ! I’ve got lots of free time as I just quit my full time job to spend more time at home with my senior pups and teenager! I would care for your babes with the carefree fun of your favorite auntie but the watchful eye of a helicopter mom! You can trust me to put your pets best interest 1st but also know if an accident were to happen I’d be able to jump to action with first aid care or a quick drive for help and FULL CLEAR COMMUNICATION.
About: Hello! My name is Michael, and I offer professional dog boarding, daycare, and training services. I have over 8 years of hands-on experience working with dogs and animals, and dog training is my career—not just a hobby. My experience ranges from basic and advanced obedience to behavioral modification, working dogs, and dog sports. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where your dog can enjoy their stay while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced hands. I believe your dog deserves a vacation while you’re on yours! Services I offer include: • Boarding • Board & Train Programs • Daycare • Day Training • Private Lessons • Behavioral Modification Whether your dog is staying for the day, spending a few nights, or needs some extra training along the way, I’m happy to work with you to find the right fit. Feel free to message me with any questions or to learn more! 🐾 I’m a full-time professional dog trainer with over 8 years of experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments! 🐾💕 Because I work with dogs full-time, your pup will receive plenty of attention throughout their stay. I make sure each dog gets a healthy balance of mental and physical stimulation through enrichment activities and Kongs, daily walks, playtime, and, of course, plenty of cuddles and love! My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, engaged, and right at home while they’re in my care. We I have a fully fenced backyard with a secure 6-foot fence, giving your pup plenty of space to safely enjoy some outdoor time! 🐾 Dogs in my care are treated like my own. They’re welcome on the furniture, can sleep with me if that’s what they’re accustomed to, and are able to spend their day hanging out with me rather than being kept separated or kenneled unnecessarily. 😁 I accommodate every dog on a case-by-case basis to make their stay as comfortable and familiar as possible. If your dog has special needs or a specific routine—including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, or other accommodations—no worries at all! Just let me know what they need, and I’ll do my best to maintain their normal routine. ♥️
“Alana was wonderful to work with! She was very responsive and communicative throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She took great care of our pets and helped them feel comfortable. She also left the house very clean, even doing more than we would’ve expected. She was also incredibly flexible when our travel plans changed due to flight issues. We’d definitely recommend her and would love to work with her again!”
“Sarah was great!!! She showed up exactly when planned, and she left exactly when she stated she would. She gave the dogs lots of attention and love and kept them safe and happy overnight for us. We will use her again for sure!!! It’s always nice to find someone that you feel you can trust in your home while you’re away!!”
“Andrea is very communicative and takes excellent care of my dog Molly. This is my second time booking with Andrea and I will book again when I need someone to take great care of my dog.”
About: I’ve been the “pet sitter” my entire life as well as raising babies of my own from the time I was young. Ive fostered a ton of dogs and can handle all sizes / breeds. I am the “go-to” friend for pet care and help. Animals naturally gravitate towards me. I can handle basic training as well as sticking to a routine. I have a huge heart full of love and will love your animal like my own! I will always send pictures of them to remind you that they are happy, healthy, and in good hands. If your dog is active, and or used to being around others or if they are shy and like to stay home, I am happy to hangout however your pet is most comfortable. Bonus points if they like being a passenger princess in the car! I work from home so I am around 24/7. I love to wake up very early and go on long walks before it’s too hot and I’m continually active throughout the day. I have a very flexible schedule My apartment has a dog park, I live next to a trail along the water and park as well so ample amount of space to walk/play/run. I prefer to have instruction from client on how/what they expect and want from my services as they know their pet best. I am very clean and will never leave a mess, even if it was created prior to me arriving.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 256 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Burt. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Burt walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Burt maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burt choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
